Stop Being Pathetic. -Jocko Willink (From The Underground) 

Im 55 And Needed This !!! Sad that the Family Unit is not Valued and we are seeing the affects today from years of division !!!!

Me too! Want to share the Victorious Gospel that all things will eventually restored, but church would excommunicate me (don't care and would be better off) but concerned they may split my family( to get my wife to think I'm a bad guy)as we have a young child together.

Yea 54 wish I had this kind of discipline when I was younger-better late than never

Hell yeah brother.

Thanks for telling a little of your story. Well done on overcoming appropriately

KUDOS!! Keep working, brother.

That's what a real man do!

You were gonna kill yourself over a breakup? Bitch please

@@ziaali319 Everyone is different, we all have a different background so we respond different to situtations. But one thing we can all do is learn to be more empathic and supportive to each others.

The corporate world is everything toxic of society amplified times 1000.

It has happened to me plenty of times. They expect me to react the same way they do. Like I need an "Ego check" or something. I don't. I just don't all emotionally attached to problems.

Yeah people start taking their anger out on you if you don't act accordingly... To their means of accordingly.

@@horchatadiver hypocrisy

I was a 911 operator for a decade. I've been to both ends of that spectrum. Being the guy with a poker face while I hear cries of pain and panic; considered superhuman while on the job, And also being that guy who's so passionate about an ethical question that I'm frustrated at how everyone around me has the emotionless blank stare. Courage isn't always silent. Sometimes it's about speaking up, not down. Especially in a world that embraces totalitarianism more and more.

love this comment

Roger that!

I'm a 44 year old woman learning something new every day from guys like this! So grateful! I liked what JP Sears says about Narcissism vs playing the victim role. If i label someone a narcissist it puts me in the victim role. Yes I've had bad things happen to me in the past but I am a survivor not staying a victim.

On one spectrum we have Jocko on another we got Andrew. I don't hate either, respect for both. I may not agree with everything Andrew says. They both speak the truth, but Andrew's controversial. Just comparing and analysing data. I hope a war doesn't start here. Oh also David and Jocko seem to be cuts of the same cloth.

@@61814_The most important distinction you made there is “different spectrum”. Andrew Tate is not a positive role model. If you think so then you’re probably a teenager, which is understandable. If you’re an adult you have some serious catching up to do, at least if you care about growing as a man. Andrew is not cut from the same cloth, he’s a sex trafficker who loses his temper all the time and let’s strangers and their perceptions of him control him.

Hope it goes well!

You just changed the kind of mother she's going to be one day. Good job, brother.

The fact that you are self aware and psychologically healthy enough to notice she was absolutely right and you have the will to change. That means there’s hope for you and your kids having a healthy and functional life. My family has such bad Personality Disorders and are so dysfunctional that it’s never their fault or they’re always the victims. They can do no wrong and the other person can only do wrong. That’s a recipe for a dysfunctional up bringing and perpetuates the generational curses of trauma and no growth. You sound like a good father.

If every parent was like you, this world would be a lot better place.

Good dad!

Same. My dad did horrible with me.

@@jamisonbernhardt3310 you guys had a dad? Im just making jokes, not trying to one up, but yes there is a lack of strong male leaders in the country.

That sounds really difficult

@@TsoiIzAlive Only if you make it too big. Just focus on the next step.

That’s easy to say, but that’s basically my constant state as a parent of a toddler, and I struggle to control my emotions with her so much.

That's not the only way andrew it's not even that great of a way.

@@effjesse_ that’s true. It’s a lot of practice. Overwhelmingly so, sometimes. You are also correct that it’s important to be wary of positive emotion. It also has its own pitfalls, especially if you are counting on it.

@david dunn Exactly! I try to keep this in mind. Never let your emotions go above your thinking.

@david dunn spot on, I was previously doing everything that is possible to avoid conflict, unconsciously conflict made me feel like a bad person, so I would rather make the compromise and not assert myself. Now it's different and I can see how powerful it is to either assert myself and secure my position or drop the whole situation right out of the gate without much fuss. Whatever outcome it is I get to keep myself respect and dignity without being uncivil about the whole thing

@david dunn I would say that from a young age people learn subconscious patterns for conflict resolution and they stick to it for the rest of their lives. I'm going to simplify (life isn't necessarily described in white and black) but usually people tend to fall into two categories: either the opportunistic or the people pleaser. And trust me being a people pleaser for a big chunk of my life I know for a fact that that it is corrosive inwardly and outwardly, it is as much as toxic as a dickhead who only want their piece of the cake with complete disregard for the other parties involved. I guess I grew up to be the opposite of that, I was too concerned and tried as much as I could to not look like that self-centered asshole we all have encountered in our lives at some point, unknowingly as a matter of fact I shot myself in the leg and didn't give myself more room for growth and personality development. Now I can say I'm in a more of a secure position and try to keep everything balanced.

Do you know the serenity prayer?

Nice comment, the « fun » thing is that the biological nature of emotion is a call to action, what a challenge

Everyone in the area: run❤

Yes!

Ya this was good

Good for you man, how hard or simple it may sound but its all perspective and experience, "what doesnt kill you" It is impressive that you have this perspective on something so terrible

Never really thought of it as a perspective but I guess looking in through the window, that’s a great way to put it. Well said my friend.

@@Tatted-ne7tu In the end there is nothing in life to be feared, only understood. The good or bad story is a story we create in our own minds, its a perspective

I feel the same! Im with you on this ride my friend. Im a 1964er..you 69?

@@tassobear Yep 1969 kid, turn 54 in 30 days actually. Holy crap I'm gettin old.

Well said

Nope too late

If you live life like its a simulation like 80% of all people in the US, you're probably kind of pathetic. We've been domesticated

Nothing wrong with being pathetic

Good

@@phililpb tru

Never be afraid of a scorched earth approach. It’s 100% the Marxist left playbook. Cause chaos and gain power through the chaos. The silent majority and comfortable will submit not wanting to “scorch earth”. Every communist uprising took this approach. And Hitler did it in France.

The only winning move is not to play

You should still be able to burn everything to the ground. Just in case.

@@jeremybrimmer1990 you must be French. Not playing is called surrender you donut

@@rogerc23 there you go then

Same here. It has cost me dearly.

GENERAL DAY ....ITS NOT GONNS FAIL 😢

heard that

You're not alone brother👍 I get angry fast too but time & experience have taught me that I was just wasting energy especially when I got angry over trivial stuff. Now I'm practising how to control my emotions. Never react to stupid stuff. Some people in life will try to trigger you and the moment you react is the moment you let them win. Ignore bs. It is indeed a hard cycle to break but you can do it bro. It's hard for all of us. It's okay to sometimes get angry. Getting angry over stuff that matters is okay but NEVER get angry/emotional over silly stuff. We can all control our emotions. Take it one day/one step at a time. You got this man👍

The first step is to recognize and admit to it.

Oh dang. Ow. This is say 11 or 12, you ok?

@@biggSHNDO yeah. Day 12: doing much better, thank you!

nah. he'd just shrug and say 'good' 😝 keep at all the same dude!

Awesome brother, I had to move to Nashville for a treatment center and I ended up staying here after I completed the program. It was the best thing I ever did. I would absolutely have ended up dead or locked up if I’d kept messing up.

Hey man, I am not your dad, but I am a dad. Just wanted to tell you I am proud of you! Way to not quit on yourself! Keep grinding! It wont be easy, but you are capable

Thank you for Your Service !!!

@@cliffordincalifornia Thanks It was my Honor!!

Dude, be balanced. It's not a sissy narrative, it's just having compassion for your fellow humans, having pity for their pain.

I think Echo is a master of controlling his emotions. lol
